Do Over! The Final Dance-Off, Again!
Just when you thought it was safe to watch TV, the break-out reality hit of the summer, "Dancing with the Stars," is returning with a rematch of its two most popular personalities, and this time the judges' votes won't matter!

"General Hospital" cutie KELLY MONACO and "Seinfeld"'s regal JOHN O'HURLEY will return to the dancefloor tonight for a live showdown at 8:30 on ABC. And who better to catch all the pre-show primping and palpitations than "The Insider"'s own guest correspondent, "American Idol" heartthrob CLAY AIKEN?

Clay's spent plenty of time under the hot lights being blasted by temperamental judges, so he knows exactly what these amateur performers are going through -- although without the wardrobe malfunctions!

Earlier this summer, soap star Kelly triumphed on "Dancing with the Stars," despite some finicky costumes and the ballroom dancing judges' often-withering criticism. Still, many viewers were split on the series' outcome, and thousands thought the distinguished John and partner CHARLOTTE JORGENSEN deserved the trophy instead.

"You want a dance-off? I'll give you a dance-off!" the petite brunette dared the press in July and this one-time special was born.

Tonight's face-off will once again pit the couples against one another in Latin, ballroom and freestyle dance. During the competition, viewers will be told how to cast their votes via phone and Internet, and the final tallies will be announced in a results show at 9 p.m. Thursday on ABC!
